The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 57

Beatrice argued, "Your father has a rightful claim to the Channing inheritance. You can't be this domineering."

Stella chuckled coldly. "Your gift is already on the way."

Domineering?

This was true dominance. Did they really want to debate rights with her?

What a joke...

Within the Channing family, Stella was the ultimate authority, bestowed with absolute power by the Channing grandparents.

Beatrice stammered, "You... you... you..."

*Beep, beep, beep!*

Beatrice, already pale and speechless, listened as Stella hung up once again.

Hearing that the 'gift' was on the way, her mind went blank, and her vision darkened with sheer panic.

"She wouldn't dare. She's all talk!"

Vincent was equally rattled, trying to convince himself.

Even now, he clung to the belief that since Stella had no backing, there was no way she would actually go through with something so extreme.

Beatrice stared at him with a rigid expression, clearly lacking his blind confidence.

Vincent swallowed hard. "Xander might suffer a little while she's held captive, but she wouldn't dare cross the line!"

"Think about it—she hasn't actually killed anyone in the Sinclair family since yesterday, right?"

Beatrice paused.

Right!

No one had actually died at the Sinclair estate, which proved she knew she had no major backing and didn't dare commit murder.

Thinking this, Beatrice's complexion improved slightly.

But remembering how pampered Xander had been since childhood, she added, "Even so, we need to find her immediately!"

With this mindset, they had absolutely no intention of handing the company over to Stella.

She was just a paper tiger without her grandparents to protect her. What could she really do?

Yes, right now, she was nothing but a paper tiger with zero leverage...

Vincent and Beatrice continuously comforted themselves, though their reassurance was severely lacking in confidence.

...

The city was already in chaos!

Meanwhile, overseas on the Azure Isles.

After finishing a call, Kellen Knight walked into the study with a look of immense satisfaction. "Boss."
